Technical Abstract

Proposed are a method and device for receiving an EHT PPDU on the basis of a tone plan in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives the EHT PPDU from a transmission STA through a 320 MHz band. The reception STA decodes the EHT PPDU. The EHT PPDU includes a control field and a data field. The control field includes information about a pilot tone. The information about the pilot tone includes allocation information indicating that a first pilot tone for the 320 MHz band is configured by repeating a second pilot tone for an 80 MHz band defined in an 802.11ax wireless LAN system. The first pilot tone is received in a data field on the basis of the allocation information.

Patent Claims
4 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

5

5. The method of claim 4, wherein, when the 320 MHz band consists of first and second 160 MHz bands, and the first and second 160 MHz bands are non-contiguous to each other, a tone index of a third pilot tone for the first and second 160 MHz bands includes an index obtained by adding −512 to a tone index of the second pilot tone and an index obtained by adding +512 to an index of the second pilot tone.

7

7. The method of claim 2, wherein, when the EHT PPDU is transmitted to one receiving STA, the second tone plan is configured with a 996-tone RU, and the 996-tone RU is an RU including 996 tones.

8

8. The method of claim 7, wherein a tone index of the second pilot tone is set to ±{24, 92, 158, 226, 266, 334, 400, 468}.

16

16. The method of claim 15, wherein, when the 320 MHz band consists of first and second 160 MHz bands, and the first and second 160 MHz bands are non-contiguous to each other, a tone index of a third pilot tone for the first and second 160 MHz bands includes an index obtained by adding −512 to a tone index of the second pilot tone and an index obtained by adding +512 to an index of the second pilot tone.
